Here are a few things to consider:

1: $12/hour is not a lot of money. And getting a $34 raise per month isn't actually a raise, it's a middle finger from your employer.

2: Banks probably won't finance you at 0% for 84 months. The rate is "on approved credit", and something tells me you won't qualify. Of course, I may be wrong.

3: If you factor in gas and insurance, and occasional maintenance, you will be so fucked up financially, which is why all of us are telling you not to.

I understand you need a car to commute, but don't want to buy used because you don't know much about cars. You probably picked the Lancer because it's cheap, but skipped over the DE and ES trims because hey, it's a new car, you might as well get some nice bells and whistles right?

NO.

What you're doing is "How to fuck things up 101" - it is a terrible decision, and more of a self-justification than an actual decision.

Use the $5000 to buy a $3000 civic with manual windows. Get it inspected before you buy it. Save up the money until you either have enough money to buy a nicer car, or make more money to be able to finance.

The guys here are giving you the best advice anyone can give a stranger. You should probably listen to it.
